Game Freezes when some one laggs out

any one esle find it annoying as hell when some one laggs out, and the whole game stops for an ungodly amount of time.

you cant leave, concede or even kick the person whos connection crapped out. only chance you have is to wait for about 20 mins for it to stop, or restart your game client.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, sorry. The 8 second wait when someone is disconnected? If you're experiencing actual 20 minute pauses, something is horribly, horribly wrong.

yeah, this is happening alot to me and my friends, we join a game its going fine for the most part, then bam dead stop.

it veries on how long it takes to unfreeze but it lasts somewhere between the span of 3-10 mins normaly, if were unlucky we can just sit their for 20 mins twediling with our thumbs.

20 minute pauses? Ok, I've never heard of this. Occasionally, a game I'm playing will pause for 20 or so seconds, usually because someone's internet has decided to take a dump on our game, which has resulted in players being dropped however it's never even been close to a minute.

As it's happened to you and your friends, there is going to be a common element at play here since I haven't talked to anyone who has had a simillar issue.
Have you played with groups of people that are not your friends, as in against random people online, and if so can you recall if you experienced the issue?

As i'm limited to 1v1s only even i've started to experience this in my 1v1s. When the person i'm playing against connection decides to drop the game can lock up anywhere up to 15mins or more. So far this has happened 3 times and i've never had this happen before in my games...

Interesting, I hadn't heard of this before.

Send [email protected] a lengthy email detailing the exact issue and supply all the information they'll need, like internet speeds and computer specs, as I've had people lag out a few times and it has never locked up so extremely. I can certainly understand your annoyance.
